Argan Bistro - Vancouver

24th September. It was our last night in Vancouver. If only we had found it on our first night. A great mix of subtle and not so subtle (wasabi) flavours. A big enough menu to keep you busy for a week. Such a lovely waitress who just made this a great place to eat.It was a wet night, the restaurant wasn't busy it should be. Another pair of aussies and poms enjoyed one of the best.

We were staying on Robson Street and found this place while on our way walking down to the harbour, checked it out with tripadvisor and decided to give it a try.It was a nice change from the restaurants we had been to because the menu is somewhat different and the food mix and texture is quite unusual. The end result was lovely with different flavours and ingredients which were well presented and quite delightful on the palate.The menu is short but is made up for with the quality of the meal. I would highly recommend a visit here.

What a great place, a very interesting menu, the starters we shared were a garlic prawn bruschetta and a salmon avarcardo and wasabi tartar. Both were full of really delicate flavours which went well with the the local beers. The main dish we shared was a pork belly on a bed of rice with shiitake mushrooms, again great flavours with them all working together. The wine list is small but covers most tastes. We have eaten there twice now and the prices are pretty cheap for the food quality.

We stayed 3 times in Vancouver and found this gem the night before we flew back to the UK.The food was absolutely lovely!We shared the Sockeye Salmon Tartar starter and I had the Pork Belly Rice Bowl and my husband had the smoked duck salad and every dish was superb! The service was extremely good and our waitress was very attentive and friendly.The food was very good value and was certainly one of the nicest meals we have had in our 3 week stay in Canada.I only wish we had found it sooner so that we could try out some of their other dishes!We would definitely go back if ever we are in Vancouver again.

We were looking for somewhere to eat on our first night in Vancouver. The hotel restaurant was full, and other places seemed pretty busy but this establishment was empty apart from one couple eating outside. Too tired to go elsewhere, we thought we would give it a try. The service was friendly but we had a longish wait for food [which was pretty good]. Before we finished pudding, the lights started to turn off and the closed sign was put up. Obviously, not a place to eat late, as I recall it was only about 9.30pm. We didn't eat there again because of that, but if you dine early I would recommend you give it a go. Prices were very reasonable.
